On to the floors... we are getting there!

Today I got started on laying down the laminated flooring at the Kid's house... the job is moving forward! I have not done this type of work for a while, and found the day to be a bit of a challenge. They bought a very high end type of flooring at Costco, and it is a challenge to get it installed right.

You can see the new flooring going in above... it is over 1/2 an inch thick, as it has the under padding attached right to it. You have to take your time, and use the old addage..."measure twice, cut once!"

I stayed back from the walls by 1/2 an inch. New trim work will take care of that gap, and you will not see it at all. They made a great choice of floor colouring, and this will look great when it is all installed!

There was lots of cutting around door ways and the new wall I put in, so progress was a bit slow today...that's OK, I have all day for stuff like this! Will be back at it tomorrow...
